Abstract
A method of fabricating scintillators using a inside diameter saw is described. The inner diameter saw includes a blade having a diamond coated inner circumference cutting edge. In one embodiment, a plurality of scintillators are stacked and cut with the ID saw to form a plurality of first bars. The first bars are placed in a fixture creating a gap which is filled with a cast reflector material. The first bars are then cut with the ID saw at a 90 degree angle to the pieces creating second bars. The second bars are placed in a fixture and spaced to create second gaps similar to the first gaps. The second gaps are filled similar to the first gaps with a cast reflector material forming scintillator array. The described method minimizes the number of handling operations, therefore saving time.
